And it provided great bits of history..
Props!
I wouldn't compare it, politically, to Western Sahara but I get your mischievous point..
Since they are more of a "department" issue vs a "municipality" one, i'd compare them more like a Puerto Rico/USA/Vieques kind of situation. STILL..
It's great reading for such small bits of landmass..
Of course the usual Columbus villains make appearences, including Kris himself during his fourth voyage, pirate Henry Morgan shows up, the great Simone Bolivar makes an appearance in the region..
Didn't know so many of the fukkking English Puritans who landed in Barbados made their way to those islands..
Didn't know so many Jamaican slaves were transferred there..
And etc etc etc..
... Oprah probably has never heard of these islands otherwise she'd be making land grabs all over St Andres or Providencia or Santa Catalina.. that dirty capitalist colonizer. There!
